• Bonk (2013) identifies 22 types of MOOC with 20 Leadership Principles and 12 business models.
• The numbers are changing and boundaries are fuzzy.
• There is stratification going on at the innovative end of traditional educational institutions.
A bubble?

Andy Wharhol, 1986
• Monetize– Accreditation– Tuition– Publications– Recruitment– ???
• Or… sell picks and shovels to the Klondikers– MOOCs as platforms
Cowboy economics?

Discourses around higher education are:
“… a field of competition for the legitimate exercise of symbolic
violence,
… an arena of conflict between rival principles of legitimacy, and
competition for political, economic and cultural power
(Bourdieu 1993, 121)

MOOC experiences
![Page 11: OOCs for Minerva](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022404/545967d9b1af9fcf338b57cf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• A focus on the course and the platform ignores the experience of the MOOC learner
• MOOCs offer an unlimited number of possibilities for hybridization because, whatever else, they offer participants the opportunity to fashion their own learning according to their own needs.
![Page 12: OOCs for Minerva](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022404/545967d9b1af9fcf338b57cf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Question 1
• At your table, what has the MOOC experience/perception been?
![Page 13: OOCs for Minerva](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022404/545967d9b1af9fcf338b57cf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

“This opened my eyes as a teacher”
• diversity of other participants
• The 'Vet' presence highlighted some of the difficulties which the ‘newbies’ were experiencing and also provided a reciprocal zone of proximal development and triggers for active participation.
![Page 15: OOCs for Minerva](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022404/545967d9b1af9fcf338b57cf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Three main themes
1. Navigation2. Transformative reflective practice 3. Making sense of community
![Page 16: OOCs for Minerva](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022404/545967d9b1af9fcf338b57cf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Navigation
New participants felt overwhelmed by technology, multiple channels & perceived need to multi-task.
Experienced MOOCers were judicious about planning their route and orienting their participation.
![Page 17: OOCs for Minerva](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022404/545967d9b1af9fcf338b57cf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Transformative reflective practice
Ultimately learners experienced a transformative shift …
but it required reflection on practice, community support and self-organization
![Page 18: OOCs for Minerva](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022404/545967d9b1af9fcf338b57cf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Making sense of community
New learners needed time to determine their audience and core community…
and to realize reciprocal relationships.
![Page 19: OOCs for Minerva](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022404/545967d9b1af9fcf338b57cf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Skilled orienteers
Active MOOC participants are skilled orienteers. Leveraging local expertise of experienced MOOC learners and developing participatory skills in new learners is a key strategy for those who organize and facilitate MOOCs.

Question
• We aim to develop a network of expert participants.
• Expert participants may be disciplinary experts, online experts or other…
• What could you bring to the expert participant role?
